Ross Angeles are a female-fronted electronic/pop duo from Herefordshire and Bristol.

Mike Wynn used to be in a lot of rock bands, including Labels, Flat Pack Heroes and We Shall Meet In The Place Where There Is No Darkness - receiving rave reviews from Radio 1's Huw Stephens.

Together with Flossie-T on vocals, Ross Angeles stole the show on our BBC Introducing stage at the Wychwood Festival on Cheltenham Racecourse earlier this year and it was a real pleasure to welcome them to this year's Worcester Music Festival.

“A fun, energetic duo that leave you smiling and hungry for more!” – Andrew Marston.

Buskers

Buskers
Musicians in Worcester are being offered the chance to become one of Crowngate Shopping Centre’s official buskers.

The shopping centre - the largest in the city - is inviting new and seasoned musicians from around the area to apply for the chance to showcase their performance skills at any of the five new ‘Busk Stops’.

Erica Burlace, Crowngate Centre Manager, says: “In particular, we are encouraging acoustic acts as the Busk Stop locations will really suit and showcase this particular musical style.

"Big names such as Ed Sheeran, Rod Stewart and Justin Bieber all started their careers by busking, so who knows where it could lead.”

If you are interested in applying to perform at Crowngate, email your video or audio clips to [email protected].

Pete Waterman

Pete Waterman
He’s had more than 100 top 40 UK hits, sold more than 40 million records and is estimated to have earned around £60 million pounds.

During these last couple of weeks, we've been getting the secrets of writing a hit from Pete Waterman, fresh off the back of his appearance at the 30th Bewdley Festival.

As one third of Stock Aitken Waterman, Pete went on to write and produce for noteable acts such as Donna Summer, Kylie Minogue, Cliff Richard, Bananarama and Rick Astley.

Despite the reported fall in record sales, Waterman says he's now earning more money than when his songs were at the top of the charts.

BBC Introducing at the Worcester Music Festival

BBC Introducing at the Worcester Music Festival
This annual festival was first staged in 2008 by Chris Bennion, who produces Worcestershire Sauce.

He set up a website called NotJustSauce - aiming to put Worcester on the map musically.

It's been dubbed as Worcester's version of SXSW in Texas!

Taking place in around multiple venues across the city, from pubs, clubs, restaurants and cafes to historic buildings, river cruisers, record shops, on the streets and even in breweries, the festival is absolutely free to attend with hundreds of gigs to choose from from some of the best, new and emerging artists in the UK.

Throughout October, hear all of our highlights as we brought some of favourite acts to perform at Drummonds on the Sunday of the event.
